Destination dolce vita ! Italy is a key destination of LuxairTours and one of the most popular among holidaymakers in search of sunshine and traditions. Luxair serves six seaside destinations in Italy once or twice a week throughout the summer period, the best time to enjoy the country’s distinctive contrasts, from the nature of Sicily to the trendy seaside resorts around Rimini. L'Italie fait partie des incontournables de LuxairTours et compte parmi les destinations les plus prisées par les vacanciers en quête de soleil et de traditions. Six destinations balnéaires en Italie sont desservies une à deux fois par semaine en période estivale et permettent de profiter de tous les contrastes du pays, de la nature sicilienne aux stations balnéaires branchées de Rimini. A trip to a country so close to home also marks a journey to la dolce vita, the real Italian lifestyle. From north to south, the country’s landscapes invite contemplation. Apart from the landmark destinations and other top tourist spots, the 8,000 or so kilometres of coastline, the creeks, beaches and intact nature of a virtually unexplored interior offer great opportunities for walkers and those who simply want to do nothing. The friendliness of the local population, as generous as the southern sun, is an attraction in itself. And of course, no trip to Italy is complete without discovering its gastronomy, enhanced by a local wine, well-known abroad but with a taste all its own in its country of origin.
Welcoming regions with their identity intact From the traces of Caesar to the riches of the Vatican, the capital’s architectural, cultural and artistic heritage is a must for those interested in cultural trips. The sea resorts of the Adriatic coast like Rimini, the relaxing nature of Sardinia and Sicily’s opulent scenery, promise other equally enchanting prospects. A detour to Sorrento to discover the city’s history, or a stopover in romantic Capri, is always amazing. The first thing to do when you leave the airport is to sit on a terrace and savour a real espresso or cappuccino. Isn’t it said that every taste is to be found in Italy?
